Chapter 853 Human Advantage Increases Influence

So, what are the advantages of humans over elves?

Fertility, although an elf woman may only have one child that can be counted on one hand for hundreds of years, basically no more than once every hundred years, but it is caused by many factors such as customs, social system, beliefs, etc. .

In fact, if we really want to let go of life, the population growth rate will definitely exceed that of human beings.

Not long ago, Xia Duo visited [Projected Plane Underdark], and he knew that drow are more radical than elves in terms of childbearing. Every drow female must give birth almost every 25 years after sexual maturity. This is mandatory. of.

This birth rate allows them to maintain an orderly population growth with a death rate much higher than that of their distant relatives on the surface.

According to Xia Duo's calculations, as long as the elves give birth to one generation every hundred years, the population growth rate can surpass that of humans. That is to say, the current population growth rate of the elves on the main plane is slightly higher than that of Netheril.

There are many factors involved in this, the most important reason is that the survival rate of human babies is much lower than that of elves.

Netheril's population growth rate will only be slightly ahead of the Elven Kingdoms if the survival rate of babies on both sides is similar.

Obviously, in terms of fertility, human beings are inferior to elves, whether it is quality, quantity, or the current population growth rate.

As for strength, human beings are still lacking compared to elves, whether it is individually or overall.

The only advantage is probably that human society is on the rise, while the elf kingdoms are on the decline.

The biggest influencing factor here is that the Netheril magic system is easier to popularize than the elf magic system, and it is also easier to quickly transform into actual productivity.

However, such an advantage cannot be reflected in a specific battle or war. On the contrary, it will attract more attention because of this advantage, which may not necessarily bring good results to human beings.

As for the advantage that Xia Duo thinks of, it is only in the green field plane, a specific area where the two sides have a certain tacit understanding.

In his opinion, Netheril does not necessarily need to keep this plane this time, as long as it can cause a lot of damage to the elves, so that the Seven Towers camp and the pioneers of the new era will stand on the elves issue and have a courage to fight That's it.

As long as you understand this and have a clear goal, the advantages will be obvious.

The elves want this plane, otherwise, they would not be able to forcibly insert their legs, and if they want this plane, the mythos may be the key, and the nodes of the mythos are the entanglements that they cannot give up.

As long as a certain amount of pressure is exerted on each fanlock node at the same time, it will definitely be able to contain most of the elf mages and force them to fail to gather.

Even if the Elven Mystic is finally built, as long as enough Elven mages can be killed to reduce Comanthor's war potential, then Netheril will not lose money this time.

After all, the main plane still has so much room for development, and the green field plane is nothing more than a better environment, which does not affect the overall situation. What's more, the exploration of the plane is endless, so how do you know that you won't find another similar plane!
Xia Duo even guessed that the few great arcanists above probably thought the same way, otherwise why didn't they arrange a unified dispatch, but let each team play freely?
Although Netheril does not have the well-organized and disciplined military system he understood, anyone with a brain knows that unified command and dispatch is more effective than a mess of scattered sand.

Xia Duo didn't believe that those great arcanists were really out of their minds. Perhaps there was also a consideration of inspecting talents and preparing for the real war in the future.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Duo decided to seize this opportunity, not to perform too well, but at least to leave a deep impression on several great arcanists.

He is now only one step away from the senior arcanist, and the senior arcanist can already be regarded as the core ruling class of Netheril.

The next step is to become a great arcanist and become the real ruler of this country.

It's time to show off!

In fact, since the book was delivered at the exchange meeting not long ago, Xia Duo decided to gradually enter the high-level vision and gain real influence in this country, not just a little reputation.

Who doesn't want to be a fashionista?
Although Xia Duo knew very well that once [Mither Energy Core] came out, Iolum would become the absolute focus and protagonist of this era, but who said that the trendy people of the era must be the focus and protagonist?

As long as he has enough influence, he can still play with history and lead the times, especially for a traveler who knows the so-called "historical direction" and has seen another highly developed civilization.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help sighing, it took him nearly ten years (perceived time) to travel to this point, which is really a bit of a hindrance to the vast number of fellow travelers!
Of course, Xia Duo is not sure whether there are really traversers who can kill gods and demons after traveling for a year or two, or even whether there are other traversers.

This is just a kind of teasing about his past experience. In reality, he still needs to calm down and focus on stability, so that he can accumulate strength and become a hero, and live up to a journey through time.

……

In the communication with other high-ranking mages, Xia Duo did not mention that killing elf mages is the main task. Although Archmage Furstum mentioned it several times before, this is not the main content of the mission.

He still took the task as the starting point, and proposed to join other teams outside the support agreement to form several high-level mage mobile teams to deal with the elves' surprise attacks at any time.

Of course, the most important thing is to establish a relatively close communication system, agree to attack at the same time, and exert enough pressure on the mythal nodes to force the elf mages to give up gathering or reduce the number of gatherings.

Only in this way can the role of the high-level mage team be brought into full play.

Unified scheduling, in terms of the earth, this is already the way to win at the strategic level.

As for the tactics, it is not difficult to form a local victory with more battles and less, and the strong bully the weak through unified scheduling, and finally accumulate small victories into big victories, and complete the big strategic goal.

……

After a while, Higgs sent a bad news, "Master Xia Duo, I asked a few people over there, and they don't seem to want to join us."

Although he had expected it before, Xia Duo was still a little unhappy when he encountered this situation.

In addition to their more than 20 teams, there are more than 20 other teams, but most of those teams are veteran high-level mages, and the core is a group of arcanists who are very close to senior arcanists.

Xia Duo was no stranger to those arcanists. They represented the Seven Towers and Netheril in this year's snowmelt competition.

He even trained those arcanists in the non-magical version of [Arcane Puzzle], that is, chess, and they are somewhat friendly to each other.

But when it comes to fighting and their own safety, those arcanists are still relatively cautious, as well as those veteran high-level mages.

Maybe they are not as good as Xia Duo in terms of potential, but in terms of specific combat ability and combat experience, those people are much better than this side.
